Leading schools, raising scores: The role of management in education By: Adriana Di Liberto, Ludovica Giua, Fabiano Schivardi, Marco Sideri, Giovanni Sulis There is clear consensus on the importance of teachers for student outcomes. This column focuses on a less studied factor: management quality. Exploting a quasi-natural experiment setting in Italy, where high schools underwent changes in leadership between 2011 and 2015, the authors show that better management practices significantly improved academic performance and increased students' aspirations to attend college. The results imply that targeted managerial training and rigorous screening of principals offer a cost-effective strategy for improving student achievement.
